This is a disaster waiting to happen.
Michigan is rolling, and wanting to make some statements.

uh-oh.

It looks likevMichigan is using this game bas a practice game

I'm not even convinced Michigan is better than Nebraska. If Iowa, Penn State, and Ohio State weren't down the Big Ten would be nuts this year.

Wow, we are down. Really, really, down.
You guys really think Michigan is that good?
I think Wiscy beats them by at least 14.
I guess we'll see.
The Neb/Badger game should be a classic. 2 super programs. (much as that pains me to say)

I couldn't watch too much of it today, it wasn't even a competition. Michigan probably has harder days in practice. We have so far to go to be competitive, and it's going to take a while. I still have faith in Kill, but I'm not as enthusiastic about him and his staff as I was a month ago. These guys should be able to tackle and block with some degree of competence, and it's hopeless right now.

Nebraska's defense is really down so far this year. I think they over adapted to schemes they believe will be more effective in the Big 10.
Wisconsin is a 10 point favorite and they probably should be.

Wisconsin is the class of the Big Ten this year. Michigan is not even close. Which only makes the 58-0 beat down that much worse.

Too many systems, so he never got guys for one system. Plus now we've implemented a new system with a new coach. I've also heard he had ins with the recruiting services so MN recruits were rated higher than they should have been. Not sure if that's true or not, but seeing them on the field makes it almost believable.

Then, completely in the tank.  So much so you can hear crickets in this thread....


I don't know why, but the team is just not responding to this coaching staff.  I don't believe New Mexico State, Miami, OH and NDSU are more talented than we are.  IMO, Horton would have been a better short term coach, but in the long run, I still think Kill is the right guy.  One can hope anyway....


On a brighter note, I see Eric Decker is leading Denver in receiving so far this year.  His 20 reception for 270 yards and 4 TD's would all be Viking highs also.

That wanting a kid like that is ony "homerism".
Believe it or not, there are sme high-quality capable kids being turned out in this state all the time.
Liking them and wanting them on our pro teams does not mean we are blind.
Decker was elite, and is elite. Wes Welker with better tools.

Some of us think nothing can help the Vikings.
